Worried • about her safety, because she is - unfamiliar with the modern world and has developed into a beauti- ful woman, her mother's first wish is to get her safely married. At- tending her first ball, Jocelyn 'meets ,Felix Kent, rich, handsome and nineteen yearss older than herself. Encouraged by her mother, She and Felix quickly be- come engaged. Alone in her apartment one night, a cripple, Nick Sandal, enters :by the fire - escape, confides in her that he is her father and that her real name is Lynda Sandal. ewer - tin about whether she wants to get married so quickly, Jocelyn goes to talk things over with her mysterious m father.- There she meets Jock Ayleward, a gambler, who gradually interests her more and more. When she mentions the name Felix K nt, he tells his story of how he Was a mining en- gineer, worked under Kent and was sent to jail for making whptt was adjudged a false affidavit. One night Jocelyn goes- to a par- ty with her father and Jock. Sud- • denly, during a dame, Jock rush. es her out and says he is going to take her home, thus saving heir from seeing Felix there danc- ing with a gangster's 'girl. Alone with Jock, he kisses her passion- atelyt_.during r1 mo pent,_they had alone, she says that she will search Kent's safe for 'papers on the case and won't marry him if she finds what Jock says is trite. When asleep one night, Jo!ecyn's mother wakes her and says that her jewels have been stolen and Jocelyn suspects Jock or her father. She goes to see her father who seems to know nothing about the jewels. She meets Jock there who kisses her against her will, But she 'tells him she will search the safe, manages to get the com- bination from Felix, goes to his office in the middle of the night, ends the papers Sowing Jock's story is true, tosses them out the window 'to Jock, is captured and taken- to a room to await Felix's appearance, Then Felix Kent, staring down at her, turned scarlet and his eyes chang- ed. He turned to 'one of the men. "Here, let me alone with her a moment. I thin -k I've seen- the girl before. There's more in this . . This is hardly a police matter. I'll ex- plain. Just let me have her for an instant and I think I cam find out all I want to k•now." The 'men., curious, grimly amused and, cynical, went willingly away. He moved close to Jodetiyn; 'caught her wzists in his two .hands and drew them up to his breast, pulling Ther nearer to him in a gesture that was passionately possessive, furious, masterful. "Now," he said between his teeth, "if you haven't gone mad educe I left you yesterdays --at your own re quest, as I seem to remember—or if I have not myself lost the use of my wits, you will please explain this preposterous joke. And you will please return the papers you took from my safe. I see now why you coaxed that combination out of me. At least I begin bo see why." "Let me go, Felix," said, Lynda Sandal. Her voice was resonant. "I'm not a chili). Nor any property of yours. fill not be held like this,, - bullied' and ,threatened." "Do you know what you've done?

Do you 'mow anything about its, power?" "More than I did." "You know very little as yet. Lis - corning my wife tomorrow.

The pour 1Qid is all in." "About them papers, Mr. Kent?" Kent's laughter was difficult but it still came a short, hard laughter. "That' -s, all right. I'lrl get them back.

How different a creature she looked —crouched in the corner of the soft back seat, from the glowing Jocelyn Marlowe. Felix pulled down his shades. "As -soon as you are back at the apturtme•nt, Jocelyn, and have had some strong coffee, I mean- to hear every word of the truth. I will have those papers," As they roved silently up the city's crowded avenues, Felix dad not waste his leisure. He thought. "U-h•um . the- Rappel pars+on's son . . . Jock Ay1eward.

"Did your mother know?" "I never told her: I was not per mi tted." "Not permitted?" He laughed. "Who in ,heaven's name, had the right to permit you to betray?" "I love Nick, Felix." "Have you ever, may I also ask, loved me?" "That is a gttestion you have never yet troubled VI ask me, Felix," "I hardly thought you would be willing, Jocelyn, to—to promise your- self to me unless you loved me." kiss." "You knew I did not love — your "I've kissed you rather often, how- ever. Especially of late." "Yes. I did not know — what I stored feel . . , then. And after- ward, . . . -it was too late.

I would climb down the fire escape from my bedroom window," "You met Sark Ayl'ew-and in your father's room?" "Yes. I did not like him. I did not believe in him. I believed in you." And at that, remembering how lest was her faith and by her own art, her heart broke and he began to sob end to cry and to- beat her. bantds tog'e'ther. "Now," be said, breathing hard and speaking through his 'teeth, "you will give me the whereabouts of this gentleman whom you did not believe nor like nor trust but for whose sake you made a spectacle of yourself in the New York streets at ei.gbt and dried and dreesed like a man- and stole and would ruin me," She obudd not answer. For the time being she was- incapable of an- ger nger or of pain.

They are a trust. They've stolen, Felix. I've had a detecti but you mustn't say a word." f At this point Felix realized, th w the on -rap before him- was not in condition to bearany emotion strain; that a shock of fear or pa might bring on some- frightfulta.strophe, -physical or mental. He spoke soothingly. "You mor tell me all about it, Mrs. Marlowe, is my privilege to help you in any your difficulties- Perhaps pow might be -wise for you . - Mary re-entered quickly. "Mr Marlowe, Mr. Carting is on the tel phone. He's sort of urgent, ma'am.' "Yes. Yes. He told me he had -clue, that he would 'have news- fo me. I'll speak to him over my MOM telephone, Felix." The murmur of this exchange o confidence between her mother a the private detective peached Joce ,lyre's ear in, her own room, Weak -'and sick, she hurried, how ever, out of Nick's clothes and hi them.

"Now," she announced clearly and even., with pity for him in her cool voice and eyes, "I will tell you everything, Felix. I am not afraid of you any more at all." Felix, after a long sharing look, said: "What in heavens, name are you pretending to be now?" "I am not pretending. But I am not Marcella liarlowe's daughter, the girl you want to marry.I've fought for my life here without any help from my mother or from you. I've tried, often- enough to show my read self to you.

WH T GOES ON IN EVERY HOME!... • Watch in your own home how The Huron Expositor—or any other good newspaper—is read. Possibly the weather for the day or the morrow is a first matter of interest; and perhaps the main headlines on the front page are scanned; but it is a pretty safe thing to say that women readers will turn very early to the ad- vertisements of local firms which , advertise fashion items, food items, and other offerings related intimately to current needs and desires. " • Every woman knows what she wants—not perhaps in the precise form of color, or variety or manner, but certainly in the main matters of her desire or need. This applies to clothes, hats, shoes;: food items, • beauty preparations and many- items pertain- ing to home furnishing. And so women are eternally on the watch for information—and for temptation! They are swiftly perceptive of the advertisements which present and propose the things of their desire or need. And obviously it is those retailers who advertise to them who stand the best chance of their custom. • It is the same in the case of men. Few men buy impulsively. When they leave home each day for their place of employment, it is not just to get rid of their money. What 'they buy is mainly something whose purchase has been planned—clothes or other forms of apparel, hardware items, motoring sundries, shaving and other bathroom needs, plants, books, and so on. Men, like women, have been reading advertisements in line with their ripening desires and intentions, and of course they go in larg- est numbers, to those retailers who have been informing them and soliciting their custom. • All of us, instinctively, go where the light is, not where the darkness is. Advertisements are light, and so they attract the buyers to those stores which they illumine. • The way to get 'business- is to ask for it. Can the truth of this statement be successfully disputed? And , here is another equally true statement: The public buys) from those who invite its custom. • THE HURON EXR03ITOR McLEAN BROS., PUBLISHERS Established 1860 f � wS*1>I.'bSV4�:,ia x4H.fNi.;.r..1: r i',_lbii4l�'S6Vt'tfi ate S tid r 1 6r/n,.i.,:.
